Bon Jovi to be sued for $400 billion

Rock group Bon Jovi is apparently being sued a massive $400 billion (£216 billion) after an American musician accused its frontman of stealing his lyrics.

The Boston Herald reports that Massachusetts-based musician Samuel Bartley Steele claims Jon Bon Jovi plagiarised his 2004 song '(Man I Really) Love This Team'.

Steele alleges the rocker heard the song and used the track's lyrics to create 'I Love This Town'.

He said: "I know I’m the little fish and they’re the big fish, but they f**ked with the wrong piranha. I want credit, acknowledgement and an apology. I know that I’m right."

Bon Jovi's spokesman was not available for comment, the paper reports.
